It all started with a premature tap by young Sage Northcutt (7-1 MMA) in the half-guard position. Another factor that led to the choke was Northcutt’s inability to defend off his back ‘comfortably’ and transition to his feet. All things that can be fixed in the gym.

He still is and might be. It depends on a few things, how will he mentally and emotionally deal with the loss moving forward.

Mike Winkeljohn and Holly Holm are that perfect combo. Mike Winkeljohn (in auto terms) is the crew chief and master strategist when it comes to his fighters getting properly ‘tuned’ up before a fight. But that’s just a small fraction of what Winkeljohn offers and why this coach is head and shoulders above most in the fight game.

It wasn’t the performance that the 19 year old Katy Texan expected when he stepped into the octagon last night against an eight day replacement in Bryan Barberena.
